HB 2101: land division; applicant submissions; review
Sponsor: Representative Griffin, LD 19
Committee on Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs
Overview
Requires an application to split a parcel of land to be approved if the applicant provides an
answer to two questions regarding the applicant's ownership status of any property that is
in the same tax parcel map or subdivision as the lots that are the subject of the application.
History
Currently, a county board of supervisors (BOS) may adopt land division ordinances to split a
parcel of land into five or fewer lots, parcels or fractional interests, each of which is 10 acres
or smaller. A land division application may be approved if certain statutory requirements are
met. If an application does not comply with the requirements, the application may still be
approved if the applicant confirms that no building or use permit will be issued until the lot,
parcel or fractional interest complies with all statutory requirements. A BOS may also grant
a variance to any of the requirements (A.R.S. § 11-831).
Provisions
1. Provides that an application to split a parcel of land must be approved if the applicant
provides an answer to the following two questions:
a) "Do you or any corporation or limited liability corporation that you are a member,
manager or owner of or an independent contractor for own or represent any property
that is in the same tax parcel map or subdivision as the lots, parcels or fractional
interests that are the subject of this application?"; and
b) "Have you or any corporation or limited liability corporation that you are a member,
manager or owner of or an independent contractor for divided, sold or leased any
property within the last ten years that is in the same tax parcel map or subdivision
as the lots, parcels or fractional interests that are the subject of this application?"
